Clean ingredients for healthful food at Cornell Dining

March 14, 2018

Cornell Dining will add to its already high-quality ingredient standards by focusing on whole, minimally processed food and transparency in menu items. Dining’s commitment to the Menus of Change University Research Collaborative initiative helps inform its mission to provide a rich, diverse, healthful dining experience to students.

More than 50 changes have been made to the ingredients being purchased, and recipes are being modified to accommodate these changes in Cornell Dining’s All You Care to Eat Locations and retail eateries. Upcoming plans include:

Zero Trans Fat: All food in All You Care to Eat dining rooms is already made without trans fats.

Move over, MSG: Cornell Dining has committed to serving 100 percent MSG-free foods by the end of 2018.

No soy in meats: serving whole muscle meat with no soy protein fillers.
